I get the impression the German and Chinese manufacturers continue to churn out panels but the European markets has gone all wobbly as governments have second thoughts on expensive refund tariffs for those who generate there own electricity at home. Result lots of panels about so the price comes down. We have also just fitted a second solar panel because the price was good enough to tempt me.

I bought two. At $1.61/watt with shipping it's pretty hard to turn that bargain away.
